Summary:
Inside your home from the Seven Gables, Nathaniel Hawthorne explores themes of guilt, retribution, and atonement in a New Britain family and colors the tale with suggestions of the supernatural and witchcraft. An wicked house, cursed through the decades by a man who was hanged for witchcraft, can be haunted from the ghosts of its sinful inactive and wracked by the fear of its frightened living. The story was inspired with a gabled house in Salem belonging to Hawthorne’s cousin Susanna Ingersoll and by those of Hawthorne’s ancestors who performed a component in the Salem Witch Studies of 1692. Written being a follow-up to The Scarlet Letter, THE HOME from the Seven Gables is actually a masterful mixing from the actual as well as the imaginary.
